It's that time of year again where I attempt to paint Lúthien. This time, she's growing her hair for her escape from Hírilorn.It was drawn mainly at work (and so took ages), but I'm so pleased, because this new hot-pressed watercolour paper is so good! It doesn't bulge out, and it's wonderfully smooth! Huzzah!

Thank you very much.Me too. I used a really lovely photo as reference, and it sort of pains me that some people actually look like that. Sigh. But then again, we can use them for reference for when we're painting elves, so that's good.
